@IceCraftGaming They do not

@Nerfaddict I don't think comment updoots give points

@Nerfaddict got featured four time in a row it's actually not that rare.
But the more points you have the more rare it gets.

@Nerfaddict, moderators can do that too.

And change your password to match the number of points you have to get a bonus 5k points

@Dathcha im sending an airstrike to your location

Btw sm10684 is the only one telling the truth, the rest are just making jokes. You can tell because his comment got the most upvotes, and therefore is correct

This is a good joke.

The higher the number, the more people like you
Or you're old

Its your social credit

@Nerfaddict thanks

Those are your points ranking on this site. They don't do anything too significant to your experience on the site, but they will increase by various means.
It goes like this:
-an upvote on a build post will give you 15 points
-an upvote on a forum post will net you 2 points
-a like on a comment you make will give you 1 point
|
But there also other ways to earn points indirectly:
|
SPOTLIGHT
This is kinda like getting retweeted on twitter: another user on the site spotlights your build and all of their followers get notified of your build in their jetstream
|
FEATURED
The devs think your build is good enough to be effectively advertised on the site. Do note It is EXTREMELY RARE as in my 7 year time on this site, I have yet to have any of my builds featured. So don't get too disappointed if you don't either

That's a basic sumary of the points system of Simpleplanes.com
Enjoy

your rank determines your social value

You can buy simple coins by paying me directly via PayPal.
